NBA MVP Kevin Durant Gives His Mom the Best Early Mother’s Day Gift Ever

If you don't know who Kevin Durant is, here's the five-second background: He's not only one of the best basketball players around (hence winning the MVP award this season), but the member of the Oklahoma City Thunder is also known to be one of the greatest guys in sports. And last night, Durant proved that he's not only an awesome guy, but a true gentleman, too — and every mother's dream.

In the video below, Durant fights back sobs while talking about his roots, the Oklahoma City fans, his teammates and — in the most sob-worthy moment of all — tearfully calls his ever-supportive mom “the real MVP.” Watch the snippet now.
